Mission Performance chosen by Toyota USA to tune their TRD Supra
Alex (owner, programmer, and flash architect etc at MP) often has projects that he can't talk about....I guess this was one of them. Impressive he was tapped on the shoulder to work on the B58 equipped Supra

Slammed with center exhaust outlet. If this has 500 HP from factory with factory warranty that will be sic. If you can add this to any Supra after delivery that will be sic or a port install upgrade.

"Precision Turbo & Engine modified a stock turbocharger to produce 18-percent more airflow for the B58 engine. A custom intake and 3-inch center exit exhaust permit the engine to breathe more freely while Mission Performance calibrated the engine management system. Now tuned, the engine produces over 500 horsepower." |

And yet they won't offer a warranty on their tune...

Dinan does not presently make a flash tune for any B58 - they simply offer a piggyback box for the first gen B58. So yes what you have shared here is a good example of the Dinan warranty but to avoid any confusion let's be clear it is a warranty on a product that is not a flash and not presently being marketed for our cars. Here is a list of the major aftermarket flash tuners for the B58 platform, most do not presently have a tune available for the latest gen B58 engine that is found in the M340, but they will soon enough. I've added a yes/no by each one regarding whether or not they offer a "warranty" option on your car.
And here is a list of some companies that offer "piggybacks" for the first gen B58 and are not flash tunes and therefore not applicable to this conversation

My money still goes to MP simply because they have delivered rock solid solutions over the years that just do not skip a beat on the street or the track despite heavy abuse. And that is based on my first hand experience with my car and other MP equipped cars. I am not surprised that Toyota/TRD USA leaned on Alex to help - he is simply that good. That aside we all choose our own lanes for our own reasons - good luck on your HP quest and if it's warranty that you are after, looking forward to your CarBahn review...it's probably going to be your only option (and that's not a bad thing) Last edited by RTPenland; 11-10-2019 at 11:56 PM.. |

I'd also disagree on the CAI remark, there IS NOT a CAI available for our car from Dinan. In terms of power gains, I'd expect a similar 10-15 whp gain like in the past. I'm not sure I've ever expected much more from a CAI. The reason the closed box is important for our cars is because of the location relative to the turbo.

I am referring to Dinan's efforts in general with any B58 platform not the B58 specifically in the M340. Meaning if you were to have called Dinan approx two years ago and asked about a Flash you would have received the same response. In fact as far as I know Dinan has zero flash tunes available for any BMW platform right now it's just piggyback solutions. Same for the CAI there is one available for the 340 just not the M340 just yet - and in the case of former it is a beautiful looking piece that retains the bottom of the factory airbox but replaces the top with a Dinan piece and allows for the use of an open element filter inside the box....you can probably expect much the same design for the M340. In design theory it is exactly the same as the piece AFE makes. Whether any of these solutions generate any meaningful net gains in hp/tq is open to debate. Increased sound yes...meaningful performance gains not so sure (but I don't really care either way and if that's how someone wants to spend their money I think that's great). Keep in mind MP only runs factory air boxes with factory filters in all their cars for all their tunes...I found that interesting. ps- I'm a Dinan fan from 25+ years ago so no hate on Dinan just sharing what I know ps- any mods on your car currently?
